Clark Wildlife Area is located in an extremely scenic setting of canyon country and is surrounded by 900 acres of public hunting. Camping, picnicking and fishing are allowed throughout the area.

The public hunting area of Clark State Fishing Lake is fairly small compared to other hunting areas around federal reservoirs, therefore it will not sustain extensive use. Still, there is potential for hunting whitetail and mule deer, turkey, quail, doves, cottontail rabbits and waterfowl. Furbearers are present on the area and some trapping is available for beaver, raccoon, coyote and bobcat.

Clark State Fishing Lake and Wildlife Area offers excellent opportunities for persons who enjoy wildlife photography or simply observing a wide variety of game and non-game wildlife. Turkey vultures frequent the area during the summer and nest in the cliffs on the area. Bald eagles often migrate through the area in fall and winter months.
